Dead Sea Scrolls and Kanehbosm

[Lilli]

Here is the genuine article, preserved by an archeological miracle, one of the Qumran Thanksgiving Hymns of the Iassai, written in Hebrew in 50 BC. Part of the reason for their survival is that the scrolls were penned on sheep or calf skins, rather than the usual papyrus linen. This indicates their canonical character, as does the superb penmanship of these accomplished scribes. The other reason for the survival of the Dead Sea Scrolls is, oddly enough, the Roman attempt to destroy them. This scroll was buried under sand for nearly 2,000 years after the Romans, in 68 CE, entombed it by sacking and burning the Essene desert community of Qumran near the Dead Sea.

"For Thou didst set a plantation of cypress, pine and cedar for Thy glory, trees of life beside a mysterious fountain hidden among the trees by the water, and they put out a shoot of the everlasting Plant. But before they did so, they took root and sent out their shoots to the watercourse that its stem might be open to the living waters and be one with the everlasting spring....And the bud of the shoot of holiness for the Plant of Truth was hidden and was not esteemed; and being unperceived, its mystery was sealed. Thou didst hedge its fruit, O God, with the mystery of mighty Heroes and of spirits and holiness and of the whirling flame of fire. No man shall approach the well-spring of life or drink the waters of holiness with the everlasting trees, or bear fruit with the Plant of heaven, who seeing has not discerned, and considering has not believed in the fountain of life, who has turned his hand against the everlasting bud."
